No Cook Cranberry Orange Relish
As this is my first post for the Merry Thanksgiving Recipe contest. I thought I would start with my personal favorite recipe Cranberry Relish. The giveaway, other recipes and the link up for your blog posts are at the bottom of my post. Good luck to everyone and enjoy all the recipes.
Cranberries are my favorite part of a turkey dinner, especially if they are homemade and if I had to choose I love this relish just a little bit more than home made cranberry sauce. This cranberry orange relish is still sweet, but has more of a tang than home made cranberry sauce. I don’t remember where I originally found the recipe, but I have been making it for many years and it’s still my absolute favorite.g

This recipe does require a food processor, chopping up the cranberries by hand is just too tedious. As long as you have a food processor it is beyond simple to make.

Cranberry Orange Relish Recipe
1 package fresh or frozen cranberries
1 orange, peeled
1 cup of sugar
Place everything in a food processor and chop until well combined. Pour into a bowl, cover and let sit in the fridge for at least an hour so the flavours can blend. That’s all there is to it.
Freezing Cranberries
Cranberries freeze for 10 months to a year. To freeze cranberries all you do it toss them in the freezer in the plastic bag they come in. I promise that is all you need to do.
